[Newborn screening program for spinal muscular atrophy].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe introduction of a comprehensive newborn screening program for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), specifically for 5q-SMA, is planned for the end of 2021 in Germany. Several targeted treatment options have become available for all patients with SMA. MATERIAL AND
methodsNewborn screening for 5q-SMA is based on the detection of a homozygous deletion of exon 7 in the SMN1 gene by molecular genetic analysis from the dried blood card. In all cases a second blood sample must be drawn as a part of confirmation diagnostics including the determination of the SMN2 copy numbers.
resultsInsights from pilot projects performed in parts of Germany are presented. Advantages and disadvantages of the screening project are discussed.
conclusionConsultation and treatment should be carried out in a department of neuropediatrics with experience in the treatment of children with 5q-SMA, which is able to provide all current treatment options for the child, so that, when necessary, the treatment can be started within the first month of life.
